Even if the culture features like language , clothes and behavior vary enormously from one nation
to another, it’s still many culture features among many of the indigenous people in America. Common for many of the tribes in Canada and USA were the faith in Gitche Manitou (Great Spirit), who is the maker of everything.






Music and Arts.

Native music from North America is almost always
monophonic (one instrument), but it’s some important exceptions. The music contains a typical use of drums, but otherwise it’s few instruments, although the flute is also much known.

Indigenous music from the southern North America, Mexico, and Central America were often based on a fivetone-scale. Before the Spanish conquest, was the music an important part of religious ceremonies and contained instruments like drums, flutes, sea snails shell and so on. No string instruments were used.











Native art from America is an important contribution to the art of the world. This applies to pottery, painting , jewelry , weaving, sculpture , basket merge and wood carving.
